I've been waiting a month on event 5068. Seems that some of them are being held up for some reason but most are going through in a week (even some first timers).
Whenever a u-joint isn't straight the velocity of the shaft speeds up and slows down as the axle turns. That's why when you cut sharp in the deuce or cucv with 4X4 engaged the front end trys lunge forward. It's the shaft changing velocity.
A CV joint is just that "constant velocity". It's...
The only axles I've seen with the ball type joint were Timken axles. I'm not saying none of the Rockwells have ball type joint but every Rockwell I've seen had u-joints.
I've always just cut the boot and feel in there to make sure. The buyers don't seem to mind you cutting the boot. Most of...
Guess it depends on how you look at it. If you have gear oil leaking out of an axle it's the seal (or keyway) next to the end of the axle. I'd call that the outer seal.
As Gimpy said, you might as well tear it all down and service the whole assembly. At the very least you need to replace the...
I can't take credit for the hinge design. It's Gringeltaube's design. Here's a link to the pic http://www.steelsoldiers.com/505895-post4.html . I haven't started working on the hinge yet but I'm pretty much going to copy his drawings.
I've been working on a flange this morning to attach a...
That's the plan. I know some say the dropside isn't strong enough for a dump but if it looks like I need it I'll add some extra bracing.
I'm planning on making two "standards" to go into the back troop seat pockets and stick up a couple of feet. I will attach a rod to the top of the standard...
Some of you may remember that I've been talking about putting a dump under my deuce for a couple of years. Well, today I started. Got the bed off, pto mounted (t-case PTO), and the hoist positioned where I think I want it (after a bunch of figuring).
I'm using a Omaha Standard hoist. I'm going...
I've changed more split ring tires than I care to remember. I'll still do it when needed but they aren't as much fun as they used to be.
I would think the bare minimum off tools would be a bottle of soapy water, a duckbill hammer, and a prybar.
Just remember to be safe when airing them back up.
I think this is why people put up the dead horse smiley.

Not that I'm aware of.
Don't know what you're going to get into trying to export one out of the US. I do know there's a bunch of hoops to jump through.
Here's all you ever wanted to know about shear pins http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/7948-winch-shear-pins.html?highlight=winch+shear+pins .
I had an original pin tested. Can't remember the alloy off the top of my head (2024 maybe?) but it's in the thread link.
